Bleh. I remember being impressed with Lockette on the first day of training camp when I was attending it in person. If he ends up being a thorn in our side, that will be kind of annoying. I was sad to see him get cut; would have preferred someone else leaving the team. No more details than what Sando just Tweeted above, but I hope for our sake it turns out to be overblown.

nothing like the motivation from being cut to fuel ones fire... from what i saw he's got some skills, and definately the speed... but i don't think he's going to be anything our corners haven't seen before... could be good, we'll have to see

At best Lockette will be in the 48-53 position for the Niners and I gotta figure they'll use one of their many relatively high draft picks on a WR. His chances of being on the active roster are pretty slim

The jury will be out on Douchebaugh for a while. If you really look at the starting roster (and they have lost a couple) The Niners are built from those first round (and deeper) draft picks over the years.

Were all drafted prior to Douchebaugh being there.

He has drafted AJ Jenkins, Kaepersnout, Aldon Smith, Culliver and James. I left out Sopo, Goldson, Alex Smith and such. Don't know what the hell happened with Jenkins? first rounder that was inactive? Not in PCJS's world.

The only concern I have and I mean only is that Bevell will get cute and pass even though Lynch is gaining yardage. 1/30/2015 - loaf

I still get a kick out of knowing that the Whiners drafted Smith overall number one and Aaron Rodgers is considered the top QB in the league, with a Super Bowl win. Dude is in their own backyard? Just what they needed and they let him go. EPIC FAIL. Rodgers playing with that OLine, running game and defense? They could have one 3 Super Bowls by now. OOPS.

To be fair, Alex Smith's mediocrity is what enabled them to assemble that team. Most of their best players were high-to-mid 1st rounders.

If he can out-run coverage in a straight line, he can make a career out of it; one-trick pony, or not.

Not if he gets bumped at the LOS and the QB play breaks down.I liked Lockett's upside, but he did have problems hauling in some passes, plus, I think Pete gave him every chance to prove that he could shake it out.He has speed to spare, hope he can find his niche.

I hate to break it to you, but that O-line of theirs has only been there for a couple years. The one Smith started with was horrible. Remember, it was our defense that ran right through it and dislocated Smith's shoulder some years back. The one they have now is just a LITTLE more stout.

I'm not sure, but every 49ers fan in existence thinks he's the best QB teacher in the league, and that no one else is even close. Apparently, because Andrew Luck would have been nothing without him.

Actually, I think what they see is a coach who took Alex Smith and made him a lot better then he ever had been. Hey, I'm not going to disagree with anyone around here who says Harbaugh is not a very likable guy. He is a very weird bird. But, I think he deserves some respect. He's taken that team a long way from where they were a few years back.

I think he is trying to light a fire under Manningham's ass. Trying to insinuate if he is not ready to go they will just move on to Lockette. Using Alex Smith as an example and even Sherman in college, he does have a proven history of doing things like this and you can bet Manningham is well aware of it.

He's a blowhard that fluffs up all his players. 'Alex Smith is one of the best QBs in the league.' 'Crabtree has the best hands out of anyone Harblow has ever seen.' What else would we expect him to say?

The statement regarding Crabtree is common knowledge throughout the league, and anybody who watches him play. The statement in regards to Alex...well that's a little more tricky. Alex was regarded as a bust since he was drafted 1st overall instead of Aaron. The fact though that as soon as Harbs stepped in and Alex looked like he suddenly awoke from a 6 year nap is more a credit of Harbaugh than Alex. Not to knock the kid, as he fell victim to possibly the worst scenario a QB can have through the years. But the fact that Harbaugh was able to make a "bust" suddenly worth a fortune in draft picks says a lot about how good a HC and evaluator of talent Harbaugh really is.

The trash talking that I do occasionally this week is strictly for gamesmanship between opposing fanbases as a result of our upcoming matchup this week on SNF. It by no means should be taken personally.

A fortune?

A fortune compared to what we ever thought we would get for him that's for sure. Before Harbaugh came, we were all just looking forward to he day that he would be released. Never imagined he would be worth anything LOL.

I remember reading about this (H-douche high on Lock) when Sando first Tweeted it. I asked Doug Baldwin and got this response: "If he ever gets it, he could be one of the most dominant receivers in the league." Remember Real Rob dogging him out during an interview when Lock was acting like he'd already arrived? My guess is that he relied on his talent and really didn't understand how much work it takes to make it. Maybe a light finally came on.

Baldwin and he are pretty tight. That's a good influence for him, but maybe not so good for us.
